@PaarlBok: I believe these times have changed – all about 35 mins earlier … trying to find something ‘officia’ though
@wakker akker: Nee man ek wil darm kenners soos jy kans gee om ook ietsie te se wat sin maak.
@umtata: Kloof nr 8 and nr 2 both dislocate shoulders during practice last week, Nr 8 is having an operation today.
@Grasshopper: Agree with you, always good to have a few (4) of your best grade 11 players playing in the first team , to be your leaders the next year. Bothma, Vermeulen, JD Hermanus at Paarl Gym were CW players last year all ready and will play a massive role for Paarl Gim this year.If you are good enough you are old enough.
@Umtata: 09.00: Waterkloof vs Paarl Gim
10.10: Diamantveld vs Dr EG Jansen
11.20: Glenwood vs Paarl Boys’ High
12.30: Boland Landbou vs Noord-Kaap
13.40: Affies vs Paul Roos
14.50: Monument vs Grey College
Its a pity the programme at Wildeklawer doesn’t have the team stats like the KERF one does. I saw some phenomentally big guys yesterday … would be interested to see more.
To the MC bloggers – well done the the boys handling the gates, I went through these a number of times due to the U14 & U15 games and on each occasion was greeted politely and treated with respect. They were even treating some idiot who was being abusive with polite respect!! The ball boys and other boys on duty were generally the best I have experienced at a rugby tournament.
Looking forward to Saturday’s rugby.
Ernst Stapelberg might need to replace Human in my side, too good. Human for me is a sevens player or fullback. It’s a tough job to pick from so many talented players. I think it’s Du Plessis from Boishaai maybe should be at hooker instead of Wipplenger and Dante from Boishaai instead of EW from Grey Bloem, although EW has the size, skill, speed and step. At Keasney he was the best fullback by far….
@BoishaaiPa: again if you read my post I say having lots of grade 11 does NOT guarantee success the next year it just shows inexperience this year. However the Kwaggas and Garsies are showing having plenty of returning experienced players does pay dividends. Gim too, they have plenty who played 1st team in 2012, you can’t buy experience!
@BoishaaiPa: you obviously don’t read all my posts, rate Dante your fullback highly and the whole pack, remember just after the Keaggas game saying Boishaai dominated. If I did have to change my team I would include the Boishaai hooker, loose head and No8 on the bench….those were tough ones…,
Big statement by the Kwaggas, beating Kloof by 20 points !?!?!? Welldone Kwaggas seems like the loss this weekend woke them up. Surprised to hear the kloof no8 was quiet, was good at St Johns.
Looking forward to the televised games on saturday. Does anyone know which games will be on tv?
@BOG: grootste grap van die dag – Bog wat se hy is “natuurlik neutraal”… @ludz: koen is from Hermanus, played Boland cravenweek last year! @grasshopper: great team that!! @klofiepa: baie dankie!
@Grasshopper: your reserves are a bit muddled up, but fair enough those are the lads that you’ve seen, damn good side as well
@BoishaaiPa: that’s so true, it guarantees nothing if the grade 11s are better than the grade 12s, it just results in a lot of expectation, expectations that most schools fall short off
@Grasshopper: Good to see you dont rate any Boishaai players…That might just come back to bite you…your list is with the team at the moment!
@Grasshopper: Eish Grassy…You still dont get it…The amount of Gr11 players this year is no gaurantee to succes the next year..It just shows you have a bad bunch of Gr12’s!..I have been trying to teach you that lesson for 3 years now!…
Geluk Kwaggas!! Julle het ons n groot les geleer vandag. Of ons na vandag gaan hestel.. die weet ek nie!!
Jakkie,Akketjie en co. geluk manne!!!!
@beet: Anghaas bwana, karrent say. Sounds like a bit of a panic to me. I need to introduce you to the mate I quoted above, you guys can discuss front row stuff with each other, I got my ear bent properly. He is of the opinion he can (and will) fix the line-out issues in short order. Will drop you a text telling you where to find him.
There was certainly no arguing with the College performance in the 1st half against DHS and the second half today. Big changes in tempo from the sound of it, I am sure it was noticed.
My SA schools side based on current form;
1) Gavin van den Berg (Paarl Gim)
2) Martin Wipplinger (Grey Bloem)
3) Ruan Kramer (Grey Bloem)
4) JD Schickerling (Paarl Gim)
5) Eduard Zandberg (Outeniqua)
6) Geor Malan (Outeniqua)
7) Jacques Vermeulen (Paarl Gim)
8) Rickus Bothma (Paarl Gim)
9) Reece McHardy (Westville)
10) Ruan Potgieter (EG Jansen)
11) Duhan van der Merwe (Outeniqua)
12) Ryan Oosthuizen (Paarl Gim)
13) Warrick Gelant (Outeniqua)
14) Stephan Rautenbach (Grey Bloem)
15) EW Viljoen (Grey Bloem)
16) Corne Vermaak (Glenwood)
17) Daniel Du Plessis (Kearsney)
18) Dewald Human (Outeniqua)
19) RG Snyman (Affies)
20) Jurie Linde (Affies)
21) Remu Malan (Outeniqua)
22) Matthys Basson (Boland Landbou)
Very controversial probably, but my picks from what I have seen to date. Rip it apart boys
@wakker akker: when did Dian come to Outeniqua though, I remember watching him impress for Boland at u16 Grant Khomo Week in 2011, I’m assuming he would’ve been in grade 10
@beet: okay, good synopsis. Groenawald is very good at 8, but good to hear he did well at lock. Geor Malan is a really good player, plays hard with real heart, punches way above his weight. He’d captain my SA Schools side any day.
@Gungets Tuft: I think College made 2 selection mistakes today. They should have started with Jacobs and Alexander. Both these players started vs DHS and when they came on they helped change the game. College started to win lineout ball via Jacobs. Apparently he is their only player who is good at making lineout calls. Alexander is creative. His superior passing game and reading of the game opened up the PRG defence.
Personally the 1D nature of the MC lineout frustrated the hell out of me. Why they did not have a back-up plan to do more creative stuff to win ball when things started to go wrong is beyond me. No short line-outs, try more quicklines, low throw-in to the prop at 1 etc. Nothing! The try they conceded from losing their own lineout on their 5m line when their lineout confidence was at it’s lowest point could have been avoided by a 3 man lineout and a long throw to a flank joining outside the 15m area???
@GreenBlooded: Agree, so does my mate.
@Tjoppa: Agree as well, but you don’t needlessly turn attack into defense, even if you are confident in your ability to turn the ball over. You need to make your possession count, and then stop your opponent doing the same. Losing 50% of your own LO ball is poor.
@Tjoppa: I really thought based on the quality of the opposition – no.8 of the day Marco Holmes of EG. Surprise of the day Hanru Liebenberg being so quiet. Geor Malan also very good today
7 Christo vd Merwe was good for PRG and so was EG’s Morne Swart
I though the Kwaggas props were both good today and big Frans van Wyk showed up a lot in carries for Monnas. I suspect the real contest might have been on the B-field where Thomas du Toit went up against Kabelo Motloung. At tighthead I really like Ruan Kramer of Grey
College but little Gim prop DJ van Niekerk always seems good.
Did not get to watch RG play but really really liked Martin Groenewald of Grey PE. Zandberg back to his best today for Kwaggas
No9 Remu Malan
No.10 Dewald Human. His x-factor ability is too good.
No.11 Duhan vd Merwe – he was player of the day. EG, College, Glenwood and Grey PE no.11s played well.
12. Gelant was too quiet today compared to usual. Carel Durow and Daniel du Plessis made bigger contributions
13. Did not see Jurie play but Cramer of PRG and as per usual Sampie Hearn of EG good. Also Monnas centres did not have bad outings. Tieties of NKaap did not get much quality ball but he did a few good things with what came his way.
14. Theo Ferreira Grey Bloem. Ngcobo of College also good
15. I did not see Keyter. EW Viljoen of Grey Bloem. Corne Vermaak of Glenwood good. Grant Hermanus of Gim had easy game but always looks best at 15. Outeniqua 15 Barnard good too. Would have liked to see Klofies 15 get more ball. He looked quite good. Tristan Nel
@Tjoppa: LYK MY JY SLUK NA ELKE AFFIE NAAM WAT JY DAAR WIL HE.

From what I have witnessed today. Any other suggestions?
@Ludz: Ludz. Amazingly Dian Koen did not play at all today. I’m not sure if the Kloof 8 was Nardus Erasmus but he was quiet. The EG 8 Marco Holmes was good at KERF and was brilliant today. The Glenwood 8 Jaco Coetzee was my MotM in the game against Gim. And Geor Malan was outstanding for Outeniqua. Wiehan Jacobs was good but not stand out. Bothma is a class act. Made his try look effortless but Gim hardly had to build up a sweat today.
@GreenBlooded: What the modern coaches seems to forget is that proper aggressive defense do win games. It even won the World Cup. But for that you need, as Klofie Pa puts it “onopgevoede” hard as nails players.
Lesson learned with Tuks last game in Carlton Cup against a club team in Pretoria. Tuks tacklers was learned to tackle the ball and they were content playing the phases until the opposition made a mistake. Their opponents tackle the “wit waks” out of them and almost every tackle resulted in turnover.
Do not underestimate proper defense as an attacking opportunity. If you unsettle your opponents the game is yours to loose.
@BOG: Geskiedenis 101, As jy in die 2013 verloor teen ‘n skool genoem na ‘n baster perd, kwagga, roem jou op die verlede. Let mooi op na die wedstryd en foute sal wel gevind word om die tekort aan punte op die telbord te verduidelik. Al die ander ondersteuners gaan vir jou lag maar namate daardie span meer GESKIEDKUNDIGE spanne pakslae gee sal jou siening, hoe simpel ook al, meer ondersteuning kry.
@Gungets Tuft: If you don’t have the ball you cannot play – you just end up defending and tackling yourself to a standstill. First phase ball from the line-out is crucial possession and cannot be squandered. The opposition will quickly pick up on this and kick you back into your own half at every chance, win the line-out from you and score points. Story of today in a nutshell methinks.
@jakkie: Arrogansie gaan jou nerens bring nie. Ek is natuurlik neutraal en PRG het sekerlik nie vir my nodig om hulle te verdedig nie, maar dit sal meeste skole nog baie jare neem om die prestasies te behaal wat hulle REEDS behaal het. Ek hoop net nie hulle hou hulle beste vir Augustus nie.
@Slam: My source at the match, front-rower, Dale boy, who played for Border for about 6 years, says it was not the jumpers at fault but rather poor throwing in, over the receivers hands or just skew. He says 4 attacking opportunities lost, 2 defensive line outs lost, all poor throwing in. I am not one to pick on individuals but need to correct the impression that the locks were at fault. Got so desperate that they took a tap penalty on the half way at one stage????
I’d love to hear Beet’s assessment on the 8thmen, Koen is my man, Bothma is very good, likewise Groenawald is very good and than you still have Liebenberg.
@jakkie: As die skoen pas dra hom met trots, jou opmerking het so pas my punt bewys. Geniet die seisoen.
@Grasshopper: doubt they’ll be at lock, both will be in the loosies, they both played loosie last year already
For me if will be Schinkerling, RG Snyman, Zandberg and the lock from Garsies, forgot his name. Also the Du Preez brothers could lock……will be tough to choose….
@jakkie: @Tjoppa: another lock is Abongile Nonkontwana who played SA Schools last year already. He was selected from the Academy Week.
@Grasshopper, we have 4 in the starting line up who are in grade 11. Hermanus, Gouws, Visagie and Vd Berg. Did you see the Gym game? Heard they had a bad first half ….apparently Vermeulen come on in second halve and played magnificently…
@PaulRoosPa: Dis net snaaks, in die laaste 14 jaar kon paul roos nog nie vir kwaggas wen nie. 2000 verloor, 2004 verloor, 2009 gelykop. So niks melk vir julle by die sogenaamde melkkoeie? Julle is maar baie wankelrig en gemiddeld. Waar le julle die jaar? Dink as daar enigsins n melkkoei span is die laaste paar jaar, is dit PaulRoos.
@Slam: Eeeisch, need to sort that lineout out. Can’t be defending on your line with a 75% chance of losing your own lineout.
@jakkie: Do not forget RG Snyman of Affies. 2.04m @ 120kg. Lots of ball. Maybe only his commitment in question on off days. But def a great talent at 5.
@Grasshopper: Waterkloof to my knowledge had 7 playing today as first choice. Had a very powerfull team in junior age groups.
@Grasshopper: yes true and as i’ve heard, not a great u/16 side, even though they beat gim last saturday! I reckon Zandberg for captain! You think hes got a chance for SA schools this year? I honoustly dont know the locks this year, only Schickerling of course!
@Tjoppa: I mean Affies. Interesting to note 8 more in second team.
@Grasshopper: Fiies have 5 playing nr’s 1,7,8,14 and the exciting 15. Dale Hendricks was injured and on bench for this tournament. So mighty Affies have 6 first choice players going forward to 2014.
@jakkie: Kwaggas have de Necker (prop), Zandberg (lock), Roelfse (flank) and de Klerk (utility back) returning, a decent spine of players. Zandberg for captain? The star backline will be gone though….
@jakkie: Yep, Gim have Gavin van Rensburg (prop), Ruan Stander (wing), Jaco Willemse, Zandre de Koker, Wayno Visagie, Walter Smit and Leaviel Gouws returning, only 2 starters but plenty still….
@Grasshopper: eish, look at gim’s numbers!!
@jakkie: Jakkie vandag besef ek weereens ek weet minder as niks van rugby nie. Maar baie geluk wil eers die video laat ontleed en sien waar die d(*%%@r die ref goeters misgekyk het. Maar tot dan se ek baie geluk met ‘n groot poging vandag. Ek behou egter die reg om na videoanalise my mening te verander.
Klofies ten miste het julle die tweede helfte oortuigend gewen. 19-7. Welgedaan manne. Julle moet nou net Saterdag nie soveel terughou in die eerste helfte nie. Vergeet van oom Klofiepa se deapheat en ander drankies. Speel met hart en Gim se gat.
FYI – just did some analysis on the teams at Kearsney Fest to see how many are coming back in 2014 (born 1996) from squads of 23;
Boland Landbou – 5
EG Jansen – 4
Framesby – 10
Glenwood – 9
Grey Bloem – 6
Kearsney – 4
Nico Malan – 10
Outeniqua – 4 (Zandberg and de Necker, eish)
Paarl Gim – 7
Paul Roos – no team list
Selborne – 3
Westville – 2
Now I know some boys born in 1995 may still be in grade 11 now bit they won’t be eligible for Craven Week next year. Also, I am aware returning players does not indicate success for the next year it just indicates inexperience this year. Framesby, Glenwood and Nico Malan were the least experienced this year, it showed in some of the results. Framesby should hit back next year and Glenwood would have learnt some good lessons in their Gim defeat. What is scary for me is that I finished matric in 96 and these boys were born then….eish!!
Goeie wen Kwaggas. Wys jou maar net weer ervaring koop jy nie in die Pick en Pay nie. Klofies met 6 Gr11 in die agterlyn is dronk gehardloop!
@Ludz: just shows how good a team gim must be. Convincingly beating kwaggas, that at home!
Hahahaha. Ai, toemaar manne! Wens ek kon die games vandag kyk! @woltrui nee jong die arme ou kwagga gedierte is al uitgesterf! Niks meer op die aardbol oor nie. Google maar vir prentjies
@jakkie: Tweede helfde loop Kloof voor 19-7. Hou dop.
@jakkie: Jakkie nog 35 minute oor. Tiekiebox in ref se kleedkamer gebel. Mandela se lewensverhaal aangestuur. Kyk die Swemspan in die tweede helfte. Hel ek en my groot bek.
@Ludz: Yep, but again it shows if you can match a team up front it nullifies their backs. Obviously Kloof are not not matching them up front and the Kwaggas backs are running riot…..
@Grasshopper: I reckon more of a case of silencing those who after last Saturday, called their pre season results a fluke, MESSAGE SENT, LOUD AND CLEAR
@jakkie: Ai Jakkie. Ons Noordvalies is stadig besig om in ons sop te verstik met die Kwagga telling
n Pokken kwagga of sebra moet hoop hul kruis nie my pad die naweek in die wildtuin. Sal die pokken diertjie summier trap 
Game not finished guys! Maar ek sal graag wil hoor wat se ou Tjoppa?
34-0, Kwagga’s taking their frustrations out on Klofies now!
Where is KlofiePA? Kwaggas up 34 – 0 at the half time break.
@Grasshopper: that kind of poach would be pushing it Hopper
Kwaggas on fire as expected. They’re up 17 – 0. Duhan vd Merwe is making plenty metres. Eksteen missed a couple of kicks
@Slam: You should have recruited Glenwood’s Harmsworth from the invitational side, Glenwood excluded him from their squad…..197cm and 102kg…..
Following Beet on Twitter it sounds like the MC lineout was extremely poor today. It would help if they had some tall timber in the 2nd row
PRG 30 MC 17 FT
Halftime Paul Roos Gimnasium 25 Maritzburg College 7
Hopefullt College can turn this around like GW did this morning
Gim wen 43-18
@greenblooded and @Grasshopper, massive win for Glenwood, congratulations….please give me feedback on the Gym performance….
Massive result for Glenwood. Made the beer tent so much more enjoyable.
@PaarlBok: Met jou bewese geskiedenis van verwarring, probeer jy seker vir my se ek is op en wakker.
@Grasshopper: Ja they do play the Donkeys.
@BOG: Het jy darem ‘n slapie nou ingekry? Klink baie deurmekaar.
Whats happening in the Affies game
Boland Landbou beat Wynberg 37-27 recently, so does that indicate the true strength of Wynberg? OR does Boland Landbou not travel well or play that much better at home……maybe they have some injuries. For a school of only 330 boys an injury would change the look of the team immensely. Any win over Boland Landbou is a great one, which shows how much respect we have for these tough farmers. The game vs Boishaai will be the acid test and I’ll be following both Drostdy and BL’s local Cape fixtures with interest…..do BL play Drostdy?
Well done to GW, a very convincing win, no arguing with that scoreline. Fortunately the Farmers are used to a failed crop every few years
. Koppe op vir Noord-Kaap manne!
Well done Glenwood – very proud of you guys !!!
Well done Glenwood ! Similar to the score that Kearsney beat BL by ( 33-13 ).
Good luck College !
Going to be putting what scores I do get on this page only. I am trying to make up for the wekking I did not do on Wekkers day.
http://schoolboyrugby.co.za/blog/?p=3705#comment-18360
Wow – great 2nd half by the Green Machine by the looks of things? Arne’t they used to getting up so early to play rugby and took the first half for the caffiene to kick in?
@PaarlBok: Jy maak weereens uitsprake wat jy nie met feite kan rugsteun nie. Praat in sirkels? Ek dink nie jy kan onderskei tussen n sirkel, n vierkant en n driehoek nie. Dit stem egter ooreen met jou siening van “normaal”
36-13 win for Glenwood, nice one boys! Moving up into 5th gear now…..Boishaai next, that is going to be a tough one, watch out for Dante van der Merwe….Go Green!
@PaarlBok: Dankie
Al saterdag se wedstryde word saterdag regstreeks uit gesaai vanaf 08h25 op SS7

@Gungets Tuft: Thank you Mr Tufts. Appreciate your valued contribution. 8)
EG Jansen 39 – Noord-Kaap 12 – full time.
@beet: How accurate is that Boishaai teamsheet of yours?..The team I have going to Wildeklawer looks slightly different…
@BOG: Bog = Grey, jy praat jouself so vas in sirkels. Gebeur as jy half 6 in die oggend met jou oud Grey Bloem klere op die internet sit en pos.
EG Jansen lead Noord-Kaap by 24-7, guessing early in 2nd half
24-7 to EG laaste.
@GreenBlooded: Looking forward to regular updates as we slave away at the pc
Hope to see you there on Sat.
Come on the Greenies. Do not let me down against Boland Landbou.
@GreenBlooded: Keep the scores rolling, Thanks
Here on Goldstones. Picture perfect day – the place is a hive of activity. First game in 45 mins. Wish I could post some photos.
Nice weather predicted for today in Maritzburg. Light rain predicted for the entire day on Saturday.
@PaulRoosPa: Heeltemal reg.So dikwels het ek hier gesien dat ondersteuners van spanne wat skielik en onverwags n redelike span het, almal wil uitdaag en daarvan beskuldig dat hulle kwansuis “bang” is. So, asof n skool n paar Saterdae oophou, spesiaal om hierdie “uitdagings” te akkommodeer en die beskuldigings van “vrees”, te weerle. Natuurlik word die realiteite van vooruit skedulering gerieflikheidshalwe geignoreer en teen die tyd wat so n wedstryd as n moontlikheid oorweeg kan word, is hulle vir n paar jaar weer vergete (Behalwe vir netbal natuurlik, want hulle is mos “normaal”)@jakkie: Ek maak beslis nie n ophef van GCB se geskiedenis nie, maar terselfde tyd, ignoreer ek dit nie. Of jy of een van jou medeondersteuners het gese: “geskiedenis counts for nothing” (so iets)
@Bog Dit is altyd vir my interesant om spanne te sien wat al die jare die melkkoeie was op Wildeklawer en dan skielik het hulle ‘n half decent span en nou weet en wen hulle skielik alles. Ek vertroos my daaraan dat ons in die jare wat kom weer minder gaan hoor van hulle.
Sterkte aan al die gelukkige manne by Wildeklawer!
@Klofie Pa: If you are battling to find the road name that GT posted on your Garmin, it is probably becuase the ‘l’ should be a ‘k’. Good thing he made the typo too because it would have attracted Beet’s auto-Tippexing feature
@Tjoppa: En net daai woorde het my besluit om te gaan draf!!!
Dankie!!
@Klofie Pa: Slaap rustig dinge gaan goed afloop more.
@Klofie Pa: haha, ag dankie man, soos hulle se n goeie kerrie moet op 2 plekke brand, anders is hy nie reg nie nie. sterkte vir julle ook! Ek hoor julle twee stutte is baie goed!! Kan lang dag vir kwaggas voor word. Geniet daai kerrie!!
@Gungets Tuft: Thanx Tuffie will keep that in mind tommorrow after the game and on Friday!!
@jakkie: Nee ou Jakkie ek gaan nie eers probeer nie!!
Gaan groot wees!!
Onthou dis nog steeds n groot voorreg om teen julle te jol. Manne soos Gelant, Human en die Malan broers en nie eers te praat van Dian nie!!
Hopelik maak die kerrie dinge beter na more wat Beet en sy vriende gaan bring vir ons!!
Baie sterkte vir jou Kwaggas more!!
@Klofie Pa: for a convenient spot that was good the last time I went there, try the Jaipur Palace in Waterlant Road which is off the M4 (beach Road into town from Umhlanga) close to the Hypermarket). It’s a proper sit down spot and they give you spanners so you don’t need to eat with your hands. Greenblooded is correct though, the more out of the way spots and a good 1/2 bunny is best. Mrs Govenders just won the Durban bunny chow competition if I am not mistaken. If the beautiful wife wants dinner then the Jaipur is a good spot I think.
@Klofie Pa: haha nee net my opinie soos Bog sou se! Ons praat maar more aand weer! Wat dink j gaan gebeur more?
@jakkie: en jou punt is…
jyt vergeet van Affies!!
Affies met 20
Boishaai met 15
@gimmie: Om nie eers te praat van Gim nie!!
Moeilikheid op hande vir Waterkloof!!
@BOG: nog nooit met grey se geskiedenis gehad, maar wel net met jou wat ophef daaroor maak. @gimmie: ek was ook laasjaar beindruk met Phillips! Sien uit om hom weer in aksie te sien!
My predictions vir more:
Eg met 8
Boland met 5
Monnas met 5
Grey met 20
Grey met 5
Gim met 30+
Paul Roos met 5
Kwaggas met 5
@Klofie Pa: Toemaar, as ek werklik geen alternatief het as om Pretoria te besoek nie, bly ek oor in Krugersdorp.
18292″>GreenBlooded: I’m sure theres a lot of bloggers reading this ad’s of yours. hope they induldge in the secrets of true Indian food!! for myself… most definately as die goed nie my bek gaan brand nie!!
But your’e right.. why do I stay there goodness know!! 100k’s from the action and wondering…
beet, what are your predictions for the games at Wildeklawer? We Should run a spread…
@BOG Dankie vir die stats oor Waterkloof, hulle sal hulle keer moet ken teen die Kwaggas, daai manne kan verwoestend wees. Gaan interessant wees om te sien hoe nr 9 Phillips ontwikkel, ek was beindruk met hom laas jaar.
Dammit manne, het julle die genot versaak met julle rankings tov skolerugby!!
Dit bly tog maar net n sport wat die kinders speel!! F@kket kom ons raak rustig en Enjoy die game!!
Wat gaan beter wees more as ou Beet en sy chronies gaan opdaag en hulle almal te ontmoet!
met n dik curry in die sak om uit te deel ala durbanstile!!
Nee man!!
@Gungets Tuft: There was/still is a great place just next to Musgrave Centre called Little India. I still find the cheapie family run take aways in the Indian areas the best. Anwar’s Nice and Spicy in Mt Edgecombe make the best Quarter Beans you will ever taste. Mrs Govenders in Edwin Swales Drv is a close second.
Why is Kloofie Pa staying in Umhlanga when the tourney is in the Burra? These Vaalies never cease to amaze me – they think Umhlanga is the centre of the universe.
@jakkie: Dankie vir jou opinie. Kennis word daarvan geneem en so aangeteken.
@Klofie Pa: I’ll be there all day everyday so can also bring you some supplies if you like – I rate myself as an expert on Bunny Chows so can bring you one that will make Deep Heat pale by comparison. You sometimes need to put a toilet roll in the freezer for the next morning. Look out for me – I’ll be officiating mostly on the B field. Can’t tell you which games – don’t want to get Ploegskaar over analysing the results for signs of bias
@jakkie: Jou geheue laat jou iewat in die steek. Dit was nie ek wat n probleem met geskiedenis gehad het nie.Dit was julle.Ek kan nie namens die skool of ander OGs praat nie, maar ironies genoeg dink ek, steur hulle hul nie veel aan ranglyste nie@gimmie: Ek wil nie op Klofie Pa se tone trap en veroorsaak dat hy in sy curry verstik nie, maar die twee uitslae waarmee ek vertoud is, is WK teen Louis Botha (15-0?) en Sentraal (25-20) wie die Cherries met 40-7 gewen het. So, n interessante seisoen le nog voor. As hulle ooit sou moes uitspeel, watter ranglys sal hulle gebruik?@Tjoppa: Dit lyk vir my of Paarlbok vir jou kreef gestuur het wat hy tydens die rooigety uitgehaal het. Hy het ook vasgesteek op twee dinge- vrees en normaal. Jy weer, reen en onderwyser@Klofie Pa: As jy beindruk is met die country side in die outpost, sal jy oorstelp wees met die in die Ooskaap- die mees onderskatte in SA.
* korreksie: kwagga al 4/5 gewen, ipv 3/4. (Grey, Boishaai, Eg Jansen, Westville en verloor gim).
@gimmie: dankie! Julle span is uitstekend, loosvoorspelers kan enige span ontwrig en res van die span funksioneer soos n masjien, elke posisie doen sy werk! Sterkte met seisoen!
Grey het nog net teen een van R365 se top20 skole gespeel en daardie wedstryd buitendien verloor. So maak vir my glad nie sin dat hulle 2de le nie? Gim is onoorwonne en het twee van die top20 oortuigend geklop. Affies sover ek weet, het nog nie een van R365 se top20 gespeel nie. Kwaggas het al 4 gespeel, 3 gewen (2, 8 en 17), maar le onder 2.
@jakkie, jy vat die woorde so uit my mond uit! Voorspoed vir die Kwaggas, ek is seker julle afrigtingspan sou n paar verstellings gemaak het, julle het n ongelooflike talentvolle groep spelers!
@Klofie Pa: That is a good thing, better than ou Zoomer, he always takes an ugly wife or two along as well. Will look up the curry spots in Umhlanga, the best ones are in other areas
@BOG: lyk my geskiedenis tel toe wel iets vir julle in 2013? Jou skool se geskiedenis sit julle 2de op R365 se rankings, want dit kon definitief nie julle uitslae gewees het nie.. Jammer dat julle geskiedenis julle nie op nr.1 kan kry nie…
@Gungets Tuft: I will be on one of the corners towards which Waterkloof is playing with my most beautifull wife next to me!! Maybe you should send me up some of that spieced goodies or bottles you talking about. Hope to meet Beet also since he’s the big boss running this blog.
Is there a real curryfood restaurant in and about Umhlanga? Yonks ago the best I’ve expienced were at Shakas Rock!! Never had since.
@BOG, my opinions are formed from watching a lot of schools rugby, I have actually seen Outeniqua play live, and it was obvious that they are not invincible. in my view Affies was the top team last year. I was present when they beat us at KERF and BoIshaai at Wildeklawer. they were ruthless. I expect them to be very good again this year with Jurie and RP still there. I am curious about Waterkloof, they are still unbeaten. Are they serious contenders to the nr 1 spot? Anyone seen them play?
@grasshoper, I see KERF and Wildeklawer are back to back next year as it was in 2011. I can’t see us playing at both as we need to look after the kids, they cannot play 5 games in 12 days. We did that in 2011 with a decent team but never recovered from all the injuries and had one of our worst seasons ever. It simply is not fair on the kids. The organisers should really be more considerate. I bet you that you will not have many top schools playing both. By the way, we can all learn from Grey College, they are the best conditioned and the most scientific. They never overplay their team and the results show. We learn from them, the mean green machine should too…
@Klofie Pa: Tjaaaas boet, the one thing we take very seriously is not taking ourselves too seriously, but we like to think we get the job done.
I am serious (in a non-serious sort of way) about the muti though, bit late tonight but can get it to you on Friday. Due to a seriously badly planned family wedding I am not going to make it to College on Saturday, which is a pity, always like to put faces to names. I will have to rely on my spies and the hidden camera footage to form opinions. But if your car breaks down, get Beet to phone me, for a decent tow I will make a plan
@Tjoppa: Enough if I get my company on board, but wouldn’t cover the whole thing, would need a co-sponsor…
@Grasshopper: How much money do you have?
@Tjoppa: Like that idea alot, willing to sponsor something like that for sure and have it one TV, SA Schools Champs……
@BOG: 1,2,3,4,5 and bonus ball 6.
@Grey Brak: Maybe even the top eight teams playing to a final. I think it is overdue. SA needs a tournament like this.
@gimmie: Yep, we lost 25-35 at Wildeklawer where you guys raced out to a huge lead at half time, we then clawed our way back in the 2nd to make it respectable. This year at Kearsney, Gim was just too big, too skillful and too good for our young troops. They would have learnt plenty in that game, especially younsters props Tredoux and Van Niekerk, No8 Jaco Coetzee, flyhalf Jonas, wing Spam Ngcobo and fullback Morne Joubert in the starting team. These guys will be our spine in 2014. We need to get a win over Gim at some stage. I don’t think we have ever beaten Boishaai or Gim, but have beaten Boland Landbou, Paul Roos, Affies twice, Monnas, Waterkloof and Grey before. Our games at Wildeklawer this year are tough again but I’m hoping for a surprise win. As for our season, you are spot on……far too many games in such a short period. We played 6 games in less than 2 weeks! We should drop Pukke, it’s too much and concentrate on doing well at an Easter festival…….good luck to Gim this weekend!
@BOG: If it does not rain and if your talented teacher is available. All the ifs again.
@Klofie Pa: OBS
@PaarlBok: So wat jy se hulle is bang en dodge julle. As ek so na hulle performance kyk dink ek jy praat waar.
@BOG: It is because of opinion that the ANC rules. Are you a cader?
My personal opinion is that between Paarl Gim, Affies and Grey Bloem the teams ranked position 1 and 2 by the end of the season would not have played one another. Obviously Paarl Gim occupying spot 1 (likely) or 2 and Affies or Grey Bloem the other.
It would have been interesting to have a match up at the end of each season between the two top ranked teams if they had not played each other during the year. Similar to a “final”.
@Gungets Tuft: Funny!! man you are. LOL
listen you guys got a lekker laidback lifestyle in this part of the world!! still think the country side the most stunning in the SA!!
very fortunate you lot are!!
@gimmie: I dont gamble but you are so sure of yourself, perhaps you can give me the lotto numbers for next week? Certainly loose to Affies? I think that can only be decided between the white lines in May. And what makes you so sure that they will loose again? Oh yes, opinion! Yours!!
@Klofie Pa: In KZN we get our deep heat from a damn fine curry. Unless you are liberal with the Deep Heat then the curry will reach places that Deep Heat can only dream about.
However, if you are serious, and it not available anywhere there, then shout and I can try to get some to College tomorrow with mates. Failing that, I can get a bottle of “hotters” send up from the Oriental. 8) 8)
@grasshopper, you are probable right, but presently We cannot assume that. Past performances are the only measurement in these rankings and Grey lost against a Kwaggas side that in my view will lose again, certainly against Affies. By the way one of our toughest games in 2012 was against Glenwood. Your pack really stood up and gave it to us. The game was on a knife’s edge half way through the second half before a moment of Schickerling genius settled the game. I am looking forward to seeing your results at Wildeklawer. With respect, I cannot understand how your coaches plan the Glenwood season every year. They completely overplay your team by easter. How can you play 6 games in 2 weeks around Easter? No top school does that. That is why Glenwood has so many injuries. You need to build up to KERF, not play multiple games before that.
@PaarlBok: @PaarlBok: Jy sukkel met sekere basiese begrippe, en soos ek vir jou gese het, simptome van n raserige kop, oa oor “vrees/bang” en n obsessie met n gemengde skool, wat kwansuis “normaal” is, GCB is ook gemeng- Afrikaans, Engels, Jode, Portugese, Grieke, Sothos, Indier, Sjinees , Xhosas en elke ander groep en wat dametjies betref, het hulle twee susterskole vol pragtige mooi meisies Dit verklaar waarom die produkte hulle plekke so mooi volstaan in die samelewing oa julle Bestuursraad@Klofie Pa: Om dit nou n behoorlike vol naweek gemaak het, moes julle n “friendly” gereel het teen GCB, vandag. Die reelings het, met respek, dink ek, hierdie jaar, wat “matching” betref, nie heeltemal mooi uitgewerk nie. Maar die wedstryd teen Gim behoort minder van n uitdaging vir julle te wees.
Why can’t you buy Deap Heat in bleddie
PMB?
Hoe moet ek nou warm maak vir more!!
@gimmie: Ouboet Bog= Grey Bloem is getik met die ranking, hy weet sy span het teen die ander gemengde (seuns en meisies) skool verloor, ons sal nou ‘n verdere 7 jaar moet wag voor sy skool weer teen hulle ook gaan speel.
Grey Bloem always improve as the season goes on, they would beat the Kwaggas now in my opinion. Grey will end up 2nd by season end, just behind an amazing Gim side. Glenwood have the scary task of playing Grey Bloem in Bloem at the end of the season, eish!
@Tjoppa: I know, but still, it wont change opinion.
@Tjoppa: One should pay as much attention to a man in a pink shirt as you pay attention to the BBS in pink at Moftus. As I said, its all opinion-nothing more, nothing less. You can put GCB at 50, but that wont change 365s list, with which I agree, incidentally. But that too, is merely opinion. And you know what they say about opinions. They are like a-holes- everyones got one.
@BOG: You can add a hundred ifs to your argument but history will show Grey lost 22-20 to Kwaggas in 2013.
@gimmie: Not that I attach any importance or value to rankings, but I too, can add some ifs-1)2 points convincing? 2) if GCBs captain played 3) if the ref saw the try 4) if, if, if 5) 12 points a demolition?6) If GCB was as settled as they now seem to be— And so I can carry on- I guess the next 2 months will tell us the true story, but as it stands on 365, GCB is at 2 for what its worth. Agree or disagree- its simply a matter of opinion and as far as I know, they have never been over sympathetic towards GCB.
I@gimmie: I agree 100%. But 365 admit not knowing much about SBR and the ranking is due to personal opinions. Their reasoning sounds like “Play the blind and cripple, accumulate points and you will be ranked high. C’mon.
1) Paarl Gim
2) Affies
3) Waterkloof
4) Nelspruit
5) Kwaggas
6) HTS Middelburg
7) Gey
@BOG, it unfortunately makes no sense to rank Grey College above Kwaggas and Affies. Grey was convincingly beaten by Outeniqua, 4 tries to 2. Gellant only made one kick. The score line flattered Grey C who had no answer against Human. In turn, after Gym’s demolition of the Kwaggas Grey should fall out of the top 4 for now.
Oh, and just to ruffle some more feathers and wake you up on Workers day to face the economic challenges, I notice that R365 , on their latest “ranking” places Grey at No 2. They argue, and rightfully so, argue that the team, since loosing by 2 to Kwaggas, has accumulated 453 points while just conceding 89, hardly a reason to drop them down the list. Exclusively to those, of course, who are interested in “ranking” and find it worth discussing. Viva!
Fraternal Socialist greetings to all my fellow comrades in arms. Sadly, not many of you have bothered to pick up the spade and the axe- only the AK, hence the condition of the world. Workers unite in this new workers paradise! Down with the capitalists and their bourgoisi sport, like rugby. Just joking !!! Thought that I can stir some feathers on May day
Hopefully College can continue with Jason Alexander at 10 (Koekemoer at 12). Also hope Marcel Coetzee can produce some big performances. I’m seen Brad Ellse lift his game since moving to 12 for Westville and Tristan Blewett of Hilton looks like the real deal, so Marcel needs show that he has the edge on these contenders for KZN Craven Week. AK Nela of Glenwood is another who is looking good for CW.
@beet: They will get good experience out of this game.
The frontrow will hold their own against HJS and with Mondli and Philo in that backline, their could be some excitement if they can get some decent ball.
Philo is the closest thing KZN has to Selvyn Davids of Nico Malan. He has wheels and an amazing step.
I’m quite excited about the KZN Sharks XV. They are a combo of Northwood, Campbell and Porties. Almost like a Damelin Night Series XV
@Westers: Yes Campbell and Northwood forfeited their fixture to provide players for WK.
What other changes are there to the Sharks list?
@Westers: Probably due to half of the Northwood 1st XV being in the Sharks invitational side.
@NW_Knight: The original fixture list for KZN on this website had Northwood down to play George Campbell on 4 May. Has this game been cancelled? Or maybe postponed?
@NW_Knight: Why is Harmsworth not listed on the KZN Inv team sheet if he is playing for them?
Do you know who is coaching and managing this KZN Inv team?
@Grassy: No idea why
@NW_Knight: Seems strange that they do not have him in their squad though, especially when we have a No8 playing lock in Vidima…oh well…..
@Grassy: Yes
@NW_Knight: OK, but is he still at Glenwood?
@Grassy: Sharks Inv
@NW_Knight: OK, for who then? Has he left Glenwood?
@Grasshopper: Harmsworth is playing – just not for GW
@Grasshopper: As far as I know Harmsworth is injured and Stopforth and Potgieter are ill. I honestly thought Van Tonder was playing as he was part of the practice yesterday.
Not sure when these lists were presented to Wildeklawer but if its anything like the changes to the junior schedule I will only believe it when I see it tomorrow.
Also who is Tiaan Kruger and why they playing Vidima at lock? He can’t weigh more than 90kg, better lineout jumper?
Quite a few Glenwood players out, Matthew Harmsworth, Joseph Potgieter, Jacques Dumas, Derwent Stopforth and Dewaldt van Tonder. Does anyone know what happened to these guys? Dropped or injured? Harmsworths height and Potgieters weight will be missed especially against the monster Boishaai lock Leroux Roets!
@GreenBlooded: And the selectors … wondering if the Sharks scouts/selectors had actually conquered their agoraphobia …
What is the breakdown by school of the Sharks invitational team and who is the coaching / management team?
